Bell Witch and Aerial Ruin release new song ‘The Bastard Wind’

BELL WITCH and AERIAL RUIN have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled The Bastard Wind, is taken from the renown doom duo BELL WITCH and dark folk elegist AERIAL RUIN‘s upcoming collaborative album, Stygian Bough Volume 1, which is scheduled to be released later this month.

Speaking about the new song, AERIAL RUIN‘s Erik Moggridge explains, “I originally thought that these parts might make up an entire song but Dylan wanted to break up the more melodic ear candy material with tension building parts and came up with all the riffs in the songs middle with this in mind. The idea being the listener would be expecting the melodic stuff to continue but instead have to wade through all these edgy riffs first making the payoff bigger at the end. We ended up with a 10 minute journey into heavier and heavier material. Jesse did a great job building up the tempos that give that part this dynamic arch and gets almost mid-tempo before crashing down again. His death metal vocals in that section really bring that part home too.”
